And they overcame him by the Blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony, and they loved not their lives unto death. (Rev. 12:11)

The Coming False Christ - Chris White

This is an interview with theologian Chris White on his research on the biblical background of the coming false Christ. White does an excellent job of comparing scripture with scripture, not scripture with the latest pop viewpoint, a trap which many Christians sadly fall into. Enlightening info...

WILL
THE ANTICHRIST PRESENT HIMSELF AS THE JEWISH MESSIAH? That’s the
question our returning guest Chris White tackles with Basil and Gonz in
this episode of Canary Cry Radio 074, False Christ. The discussion is
about his most recent book, False Christ: Will the Antichrist Claim to
be the Jewish Messiah?

While many Biblical scholars and
commentators have speculated on the identity of the Antichrist, shaped
by the contemporary geopolitical climate, Chris White takes the topic
and uses only the Bible to present his thesis. Without any influence
from the current turmoil in the middle east, or the global conspiracy
which we all know and talk about so much, Chris’ view on the Antichrist
has evolved from that of a New Age, Alien savior type, to quite simply, a
man who will present himself as fulfilling the Jewish prophecies about
the Messiah and Messianic Age.

The first thought that might cross
your mind when you hear the thesis is, “Isn’t that anti-semitic?” And
it’s a fair question that Chris addresses in the episode. The short
answer is, No. But there are many other things that can be said about
this view. Not only is it Biblically consistent, but it is the view of
that was held by the pre-Nicene early church fathers. In other words,
the view Chris is presenting is the first view of the Antichrist held by
the church. And in terms of logic, it makes sense that if the true
Christ was in fact a Jew, then the False Christ would also present
himself as a Jew. The discussion deepens as Chris get’s into why he
believes that Mystery Babylon is the eschatological Jerusalem; that is
the Jerusalem that is ruled by the Antichrist in the end times. Again,
this brings out heated comments from those who accuse Chris of being
anti-semitic, but a fair shake at his evidence should cause all to
reconsider their own preconceived positions about the identity of the
Antichrist.
